Hyperliquid is an order book perpetual futures decentralised exchange (DEX). Hyperliquid does everything centralized exchanges (CEX) do, but on-chain.
With a decentralized exchange, you are able to self custody your assets on-chain, and access symbols or pairs that may not be available on centralized exchanges.
Whilst there are a few order book exchanges now becoming available, Newsly selected Hyperliquid for a few important reasons:
Wide selection of symbols, suitable to capture the vast majority of news trading.
Open to improvements and suggestions from integration partners.
Rapid execution (20k orders/second), good liquidity.
First mover in granular permissions for on-chain exchanges.
An important reason for Newsly selecting Hyperliquid, is they are the first exchange to provide an API based approach to DEX trading. Existing DEXs require the person making the trade to hold the private key of the account, meaning users assets are exposed to the platform. 🔐 With Hyperliquid we pushed the team to add unique Agent API Wallets such that Newsly can make orders on your behalf, but we have no access to withdraw or move funds.
